At The Crossing: Latin American Studies from the Borderlands
The University of Texas at El Paso proposes to reconceive Latin American Studies from the perspective of the border--defined both as geopolitical space and as a theoretical category. The focus is to initiate a reconceptualization of teaching, research, and outreach activities, drawing explicitly on study of the border to reinvigorate study of Mexico and Latin America on campus and in the El Paso-Ciudad Juarez region. Funding provided by the Ford Foundation.
